Weight, Weather Doomed Lake Eufaula Fishermen

Post by WB Staff »

The boat the three fishing buddies were in on Lake Eufaula last Wednesday is back on dry land.

It was discovered in 30 feet of water.

The Henry County Sheriff tells First News there was no obvious damage to the boat but other major factors could have easily contributed to the tragedy.

There is still sheer disbelief on Lake Eufaula that three experienced fishermen didn’t make it back home safely but the boat they were in gives several clues according to the Sheriff about what likely happened that night.

Timothy Evans boat had a 500 pound capacity but the three men and their equipment exceeded that.

Investigators also believe the boat was stationary and not running at the time of the accident.
